Opening Cast December 2016

Christmas is almost upon us and I just can’t believe that another year has just about passed. The holidays are a favorite part of my year! Thoughts included family, friends, food, fun and renewal.

Fishing and life as a whole are all part of a life circle. Although some excellent crappie fishing can be had during December, most of us will be looking to rejoice at the conclusion of another year and being reborn as with our savior at the celebration of new life and his birth and a fresh year.

We must keep faith in not only our guiding light but each other during this season. Each one of us is unique and so is every living thing. As Americans, we must keep faith in each other, no matter where we come from, our heritage, color, background demographic or political affiliation.

As fishermen and fisher women, spending part of our lives outdoors and seeing all the beautiful things God, or whatever name you call him, is so important to refresh our souls and keep our minds and souls focused on what is most important – life, family, love and truth. Let’s pass this on to our children and grandchildren to preserve these values.

We at Crappie Now thank you for another wonderful year and wish each of you a Merry Christmas filled with laughter, fun and renewal.
